Resonant ultrasound spectroscopy of ternary Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloy compacts fabricated via SPS technology
Pavlík, Marek ; Spotz, Zdeněk (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
This thesis deals with applicability of powder metalurgy for production of Cu-Al-Ni shape memory alloys. It is part of series of studies, inherently expanding experimental work with samples previously produced through optimized mechanical alloying and compaction via SPS method. In this work, the samples were thermally annealed and characterized by two advanced methods, DTA and RUS. Significant changes occur within the material at temperatures of 240 °C and 300 °C. The measurements indicated a presence of a martensitic transformation that could correspond to the desired SME phenomenon. Apparently, the changes were not triggered throughout the entire sample volume and further experimental progress is therefore expected in the near future.

Unconventional preparation technology of bulk material from Mg
Horálek, Matyáš ; Hasoňová, Michaela (referee) ; Březina, Matěj (advisor)
Topic of the bachelor's thesis is the procedure of preparation and processing of bulk magnesium powder by unconventional technologies. Bulk materials were evaluated from the point of porosity, microstructure and physically-mechanical properties in correlation with changes of parameters during preparation. Furthemore the influence of chosen processing parameters of electron beam was evaluated from structural properties and depth of the affected material. The outcome of this work is focused on study and optimalization of parameters during preparation and processing of bulk material.

Ternary shape memory alloys powder feedstock fabrication by advanced mechanical alloying
Regináč, Jan ; Moravčík, Igor (referee) ; Čížek, Jan (advisor)
Prášková metalurgie může být použita jako alternativní metoda pro výrobu slitin s tvarovou pamětí s Cu-bází. Tato metoda poskytla lepší výsledky, co se týče celkového složení a velikosti zrn, než tradiční metoda lití. V této práci byl aplikován proces mechanického legování k přeměně směsí základních prášků Cu-Al-Ni na mechanicky legované směsi. Cílem práce bylo nalezení optimálních parametrů pro výrobu nejvhodnějšího práškového prekurzoru určeného k dalšímu zpracování. SEM, EDX a XRD analýzy byly použity pro zjištění účinku změny parametrů na výslednou strukturu a na případnou tvorbu nových fází. Bylo ukázáno, že vysokoenergetické legování je vhodnou metodou pro výrobu takových prekurzorů. Na základě výsledků bylo zjištěno, že tuhý roztok mědi byl formován nezávisle na změně mlecích parametrů. Výsledky dále odhalily, že vysoký energetický vstup ve formě otáček a dlouhých mlecích časů, může způsobovat vznik amorfních fází.

Preparation and properties of porous magnesium material
Ďubašák, Matej ; Kosár, Petr (referee) ; Březina, Matěj (advisor)
Magnesium is a lightweight metal suitable for various technical and biomedical applications due to its great strength-weight ratio and biocompatibility. The powder metallurgy (PM) of magnesium presents a modern method of porous magnesium processing, in which are reached specific mechanical properties influenced by high purity, material structure and controlled porosity during this process. This thesis deals with preparation and characterization of porous magnesium material which is prepared from a magnesium powder containing a particles with average size of 50 µm. The preparation process consists of powder pressing and sintering of green compacts. The properties of porous magnesium prepared by PM method depend on conditions of every individual process. The compaction pressure and sintering temperature were altered to optimize a preparation proces. There were examined mechanical properties (3 point bending, hardness) and optical properties (fractography and metallography). Obtained properties of porous magnesium prepared by PM were compared with technical literature.

On the development of technological properties of ferrite powder
Soviš, Jan ; Dvořák, Jaromír (referee) ; Píška, Miroslav (advisor)
This master’s thesis deals with production of ferrite cores by the powder metallurgy technology in EPCOS s.r.o. Šumperk. Special importance is given to powder compaction process through uniaxial cold pressing in a rigid die. The production company is introduced in the first part and is followed by a study of pressure propagation in a powder bed during uniaxial pressing, then the analysis of critical phases of compaction process in terms of green cracks and compact’s defects follows. Main test methods of compact’s green strength are also presented. Significant part of the master’s thesis deals with an analysis of a powder technological properties’ testing method. For that purpose, an instrumented compaction device called Powder Testing Center (PTC, KZK Powder Tech Corp.) is used. A new pressing tool of smaller diameter was made and mounted to the experimental press; also the testing technique, procedure and certificate of powder’s properties was slightly changed. Technological property called advanced compactibility of powder is introduced. Decision about suitability of powder for uniaxial pressing process is made upon the value of newly introduced coefficient of advanced compactibility . Compact’s green strength is evaluated by a proposed contract bend test method, which uses cylindrical-shaped testing pieces with high height-to-diameter ratio. The results from both testing methods show the impact of additional granulate adjustment on green strength and heterogeneity of density distribution along axial direction. Implementation of gained knowledge to production process led to more than 40 % cost savings in term 2/2016 – 4/2016 in comparison with term 8/2015 – 11/2015, because of lowering the number of scrap parts from KLY material due to crack reduction.
